The single-breasted coat is the modern version. While in the past the pride of a gentleman's wardrobe was the double-breasted jacket or coat, over time the single-breasted option has become much more popular .

An interesting, on-trend choice for gentlemen is the Glen Check (or Glen plaid) coat.
It is one of the most representative patterns present in men's clothing and not only. It was made in countless chromatic variations, but also in the elegant black and white combination, which creates the illusion of gray. The pattern is obtained by processing wool in a special technique that creates overlapping checks of different sizes.
Checks are a pattern that never goes out of style, and they work best on coats. A simple gray pattern turns into a piece of clothing that you won't get bored of anytime soon and is versatile enough to be paired with different outfits.

6. Peaked Lapel Coat
For the double-breasted coat, it is best to choose a pointed lapel.

7. The 100% wool coat
For an investment in quality, we recommend the 100% wool coat.
Wool is durable, warm, and such a coat will last flawlessly for years. Some coats have an added microfiber layer for extra thermal protection.
The wool used to make Tudor Tailor coats is very fine and durable. 400-500 grams of wool is used for the light ones (those worn directly over a shirt) and 600-700 grams for the thick and warm coats worn over a suit.
In Tudor Tailor showrooms you will discover a diverse collection of fabrics and special fabrics for coats. All our coats are made in Romania, either from 100% wool by Loro Piana or Holland & Sherry, traditional British materials, depending on the model, and can be created in any size, or from precious blends with cashmere.
If you want to step out of anonymity this winter, consider a camel coat (camel coat/tan coat). In addition to making an elegant contrast with a dark suit, a camel coat makes any outfit look very classy and neat.
It is worth noting that this coat is not necessarily made of camel hair, it just has the color of camel hair.
8. The cashmere coat, a luxury for the elegant man
Cashmere is another material suitable for coats, but this material is very precious.
With cashmere, the origin and manufacturer are very important. Tudor Tailor advisors recommend cashmere from the Khan area. If it is not carefully cared for, signs of wear may appear. In addition, the price of a cashmere coat can reach double the price of a wool coat.
For a truly special coat, you can choose a material made from alpaca or vicuna hair .
What do you need to know to choose a quality coat?
During the cold season, a gentleman will have at least one quality coat in his wardrobe. This is not a fad, but a necessity. Considered a masculine piece of resistance, the coat takes on a new meaning when it is made of a wool with increased fineness.
Choose fabrics and colors that are practical but also on trend.
Fabric is one of the most important criteria to consider when choosing your coat for the cold season.
A tip that applies to any clothing item, not just coats: use only quality materials, so you get a lifetime investment. - Cristian Brandibur, clothing advisor Tudor Tailor
An ivory or beige coat with two rows of buttons is a superb demonstration of style and elegance, but if you need a coat to wear every day to the office or around town, in traffic, in less friendly weather, Choose a neutral and easy-to-match color : a gray or navy coat would be the best choice.
The cut of the men's coat
The second important criterion when choosing a coat for the cold season is the cut. Will you wear it over a suit or do you want something more practical that can even be worn over a shirt?
In the first case, you need more space inside to be able to move freely while wearing a suit, while in the second case, the coat needs to be cut closer to the body. Therefore, you can choose a straight cut or a fitted cut.
Our fashion advisors are waiting for you to try the made to measure experience at least once. Schedule an appointment in the showroom and let's build your coat by choosing premium materials (wool or cashmere), the desired lapel type, the type of buttons and other personalized details.
How to wear a men's coat with style?
Here are some recommendations from Tudor Tailor advisors to wear your coat in the most elegant outfits, regardless of the occasion.
-
Choose colors based on how often you wear them.
If you only have one coat and you want to wear it a lot, it's best to go for a black or dark-colored one. If you want a very colorful coat and you're only going to wear that one, it's likely to draw attention to the fact that you're wearing the same coat all the time.
In addition, a very colorful coat forces you to choose outfits in cool colors, and when you stay inside you will always have a sober look.
-
Combine textures correctly
It is recommended that the heaviest and thickest layers be those of the coat. In addition to being the most practical method, textures also have a logic. When you choose a material with a fine texture, you want this fine detail to be noticed, and those around you cannot realize this aspect if the highest quality textures are found under the coat.
-
Find a balance between colors and prints
If you're new to elegant clothing, it's best to stick to just one print . This way, you'll make sure you don't go wrong.
What accessories can you wear the coat with?
Type of footwear
Because it's cold outside, it's time to wear warmer leather boots and shoes, depending on the outside temperatures.
